A day-long ice cave exploration + glacier trekking, truly unfiltered! I heard that the Kongga Ice Cave is the largest ice cave discovered in Tibet to date

I thought I would see magnificent blue ice, but in reality, the light inside the ice cave is quite dim, making it look greyish. Despite this, the landscape inside the ice cave still arouses a sense of freshness and curiosity. The inner walls of the Kongga Ice Cave are like fish scales, as if they've been scraped by an ice cream scoop. On the horizontal plane, the layered patterns are clearly visible. If you look closely, you'll find objects encapsulated within the ice, adding to the mystery of the ice cave. It's like a giant time machine, capturing every moment and allowing us to glimpse into that distant and mysterious world. The blue ice of the Xianggelila Glacier attracts many visitors. Glacier trekking is a great experience, tiring yet joyful! Walking on the ice, you can see white ice bubbles within the ice layers. The ice blocks in front of the mountain are like a huge sapphire embedded in the snow. When you cross over hills and slopes, you'll find ice caves that haven't fully solidified. You can even walk up to the massive ice walls and admire the natural wonders. 📍Location: Puyu Village, Bianba County, Changdu City, Tibet 💰Cost: No entrance fee, motorcycle 200 yuan/person, local guide 200 yuan 🚗How to get there: Self-drive/join a tour group ⏳Recommended duration of visit: 1 day 【Recommended ways to play】 1️⃣ Morning: Take a motorcycle to the vicinity of Kongga Ice Cave - Trek to the ice cave - Visit and take photos in the ice cave - Return by motorcycle 2️⃣ Afternoon: Xianggelila Glacier trekking 【Tips】 🌟Kongga Ice Cave is quite far away, it is recommended to take a motorcycle, the road is bumpy, remember to hold on tight 🌟It is advised to wear a safety helmet when visiting the ice cave to prevent ice from falling 🌟The Kongga Ice Cave is not very long, but there are many ice blocks on the ground, the path is difficult, and the light is dim 🌟For glacier trekking, it is recommended to hire a guide to avoid getting lost, safety first 🌟For glacier trekking, remember to bring ice claws, do not walk on thin ice, safety first 🌟Try to return before dark, safety first 🌟For accommodation, it is recommended to choose in Bianba County, where conditions are better
